Today is my first day of getting off effexor. My doctor (who is really great and told me all about the withdrawl symptoms) lowered my dose from 150 mg to 112.5 mg for one week, then I\'m down to 75 mg for three weeks. When I miss a dose, I am very tired and can\'t stay awake. I feel bad for anyone who missed a dose - it certainly doesn\'t feel too good. I guess that is why they tell you not to stop taking medication without talking to your doctor.
Happy days for u all.
